Examine the ingredient list for Yves Jumbo Veggie Dogs (Water, soy protein, wheat gluten, tofu (water, soybeans, magnesium chloride), cane sugar, wheat starch, salt, yeast extract, spices, carrageenan (from seaweed), natural liquid smoke, beetroot powder, potassium chloride, vitamin and mineral blend. Contains soy, wheat and mustard.) Vegetable protein and a vegetable gum are included to help give the product its structure. Identify which ingredients from the list contribute to structure and belong to either classification (i.e., vegetable protein or vegetable gum) and discuss their functionality with respect to product structure.

1. Glycolysis is an almost universal pathway for extraction of the energy available from carbohydrates, shared among prokaryotes and eukaryotes, aerobes and anaerobes alike. Base on what you have learnt and your best understanding towards the mentioned process, investigate the direct and indirect glycolysis as well as give concrete examples, where possible.
4. Why does human body require a certain amount of carbohydrates in daily diet? Exemplify case by case.
5. The citric acid cycle is a central metabolic pathway that completes the oxidative degradation of fatty acids, amino acids, and monosaccharides. Base on your understanding, clarify the above statement.
6. Show your understanding and figuring out the oxidative phosphorylation of utilizing the chemical energy of those reduced molecules from glycolysis and Citric Acid Cycle to produce ATP.
7. Show your understanding and exemplifying the roles of NADPH in the all related issues of concern.

In DNA polymerases, the 3’ hydroxyl end attacks the phosphorus on the incoming nucleotide triphosphate to add another nucleotide to the growing chain. a) These enzymes require Mg2+. What function might this cofactor serve in the enzymatic process? b) How does the mechanism explain the inability of the polymerase to synthesize DNA using nucleotide monophosphates? c) How does the mechanism explain how some DNA polymerases can replace RNA primers and damaged DNA (“nick translation,”) but not seal the backbone (“ligation”)?
